Nearly half of Americans believe climate change threat is exaggerated. Only half? I'm surprised it's so low given that it has been exaggerated - by the media and politicians who persistently highlight worse case scenarios as the most likely course of events. However, errors in the 4AR were not exaggerations - they were just errors (or, in the case above, based on information believed correct at the time but which subsequent studies suggest may in fact be incorrect)

The idea of this blog is to produce a regular round up of global weather and related news stories which then acts as an archive. Some links may be lost in time but by searching the original headline on Google it should be possible to find related stories. Additionally, it gives me somewhere to add my own thoughts on some stories, as the mood takes me.
